We sat outside with our pup. The server promptly brought him a dog bed and a bowl of water. Our server kept our glasses full and was very attentive. The food was good, we left happy.

It really is a hidden gem! A small patio back from the street. Eggs Benedict and the corned beef hash were delicious. We brought our small dog, who joined other well-behaved pets on the patio.

This is one of my favorite restaurants to go to for a quaint, romantic dinner. Dia, the host/ owner, is a delightful host. I highly recommend this place.

It was unfortunate that our group was seated outside in the cold and rain. Wait staff was quick to respond, but we were not prepared to sit outside with no prior knowledge and get rained on. Average age of our group was 66. One meal of the 6 of us was served 15 minutes earlier than the other 5 (he had fish) which also was a bummer. They short poured two glasses of vino, but made up for it with a free glass which was nice. Over all, the food was pretty damn good. The steak was prepared differently than expected, but was still good. The fish was excellent. It did take a good long time for us to get waited on. I would give it another try before the final verdict. Right now, C+. Sincerely, Principal Dan

Great food and service. Patio is nice. Inside is extremely lacking in decor. AND….I’ve seen cleaner bathrooms at gas stations!

Average food. Ordered mussels and a few did not taste fresh. The dish also was full of sour flavor without much to offset it - kind of a mess in terms of flavor profile. The other dishes we had tasted better, but no real standouts. The only thing we enjoyed was the location/ambience.
